What does a mass flow meter do?

A mass flow meter is a type of flow meter and is a device that accurately measures the mass flow rate of a fluid moving through a pipe.

What is Micro Motion flow meter?

Micro Motion® manufactures mass flow meters to measure gases, liquids and slurries. Our flow meters use Coriolis sensors and the corresponding transmitters are microprocessor based. Together, these units give you real-time mass and volume flow plus density and temperature measurement.

How do I choose a mass flow meter?

When selecting a flow meter consideration must be given to:

  1. Flow measurement type – momentum (velocity), volumetric or mass flow measurement.
  2. Media – type of media (liquid, gas or slurry) and any special condition such as particulates in the media and viscosity of the media.

How accurate are mass flow meters?

Mass flow meters are used for fuel monitoring and balancing of fuels, which require an accuracy between ± 1%.

Where is Coriolis flow meter used?

Coriolis flow meters are used in a wide range of critical, challenging applications, in industries including oil and gas, water and wastewater, power, chemical, food and beverage, and life sciences.

Who owns Micro Motion Inc?

Emerson Electric
Micro Motion’s parent company, Emerson Electric, based in St. Louis, Mo., reported revenues of $14 billion last year.

What are the types of mass flow meters?

These are the different types of mass flowmeters:

  • Coriolis Mass Flow Meters. In this type, two parallel measuring tubes containing flowing fluid were oscillated in antiphase, acting as a tuning fork using strong electromagnets.
  • Thermal Mass Flowmeters.
  • Impeller-Turbine Mass Flow Meters.
  • Twin-Turbine Mass Flow Meter:

How many types of mass flow meters are there?

Two common types of turbine mass flow meters are impeller and twin turbine. The two different designs have similar processing methods, including fluid moving through a pipe turning the vanes of a turbine. The rate of its spin measures the flow rate with an accuracy of 2% for gasses or steam and 1.5% for liquids.

Which flow meter is more efficient?

Coriolis flowmeters are the most accurate, but even though they’re pricey for big lines, they’re often the first choice for lines less than 8 inches in diameter. Ultrasonic flowmeters also have high accuracy and turndown, so they’re economical for large lines, and are used more often lately for such applications.
